Klipspringer 5 Enters the Blogosphere

Well, I hope the campish style of my titling and otherwise isn't overly off-putting to my kind and gracious public. Actually, as I write it I find myself rather bemused that I should write anything so blatantly stylized, but truthfully it is and will be a kind of conglomeration of styles and I will be bouncing around without much direction except for occasionally when I find something I enjoy and stick with it for a while. So a few words of warning: Just because I'm writing something strangely, funnily, absurdly, etc., doesn't mean that you shouldn't take it seriously, and just because I write something with a serious tone doesn't mean that it should be taken entirely as such. I do have a sense of humor and an interest in expressing myself in a wide variety of ways, it just all tends to be focused into rather straightforward and polite speech by a desperate fear of being made fun of or not being taken seriously. Suffice it to say, I find both my seriousness and the imitative mocking of my seriousness (by myself) to be amusing. Oh, and I have what may be an unfortunate fondness for excessively over-modified, multiply-compounded, hyper-explanatory run-on sentences. Sorry. Dinner.
